... heart's desire...

"This film originated in a burst of admiration and love for an old friend that has not 'gone soft'. My feeling was made official in my little project of collecting images for a documentary at the 1992 Festival of the review Cuore ('Heart') in Montecchio. (This way I paid them my dues with a bonus.) The material changed form when it was just a montage-inprogress. The Cuore tribe got to me. They pushed and steered me emotionally toward this 'impressionistic report' on the people that made that Festival place come to life, a report of a voyage to a island on human resistance". (Isabella Ciarchi)
